The size of my Chams

I was wondering if all of you experts could let me know if my Chams look alright, in size.
I am asking because my Panther seems to be outgrowing my Veiled! I thought Veileds were the bigger species? Rusty(Veiled) has topped eating crickets and silkies for some reason and will only eat supers...3-4 a day sometimes skipping a day here or there. He poops every two days(for the past three weeks, seems normal, just smaller than it used to be) I am hoping it is normal for this time of year and his age(he is about 10 months I think)
Mojito(Ambilobe)will eat anything and everything that moves, and now I am wondering if maybe I am overfeeding him. He gets about 6-8 adult crickets and a couple of supers a day. I think he is about 8 months old.

I really appreciate any imput!!

How much do the weigh?

I would say its normal for that age and the time of year to slowdown. They looks great and healthy. My panther will only eat supers and silkies maybe every other day. He poops like every 3 days or so. I monitor his weight and he is fine.

I would just monitor for any weight loss. Excessive amount would be a problem.
 
I forgot to mention Mojito...

He is around the age when you would want to start feeding him every other day and cut back a little. Up until about 9 months my guys would eat as much as 15-20 crickets a day. I start to cut them back until I reach what they will be eating as adults. Then start to give them that amount very other day.. if that makes since.

I haven't heard of it much on her but I like to take them down slowly rather than switch to every other day right away.
